181166: Small Deeds Great Reward

I am a heart and lungs patient.The only ways is to
transplant heart and lungs and that too seems not possible due to the probabilty of failure and availability.I am pleased with the decree of ALLAH after understanding its reward and consequences of expiation of sins in the hereafter.I am reading Ibn katheer (english darussalam edition) and riyadusaaliheen (eng).I am looking forward to know any book that may help me know authentic hadeeths that has small deed great reward? Because i have hardly 4-5 hours time to do ibaadah with less effort.I would look forward to hadees like praying duha prayer after sunrise which has umrah reward according to hadeeths that is authenticated as hasan or saying "subhanallahi wabihamdihi subahanallahil azeem" which is heavy in the scales.Similar to that because i cannot afford to put more effort and with less time remaining in my life.If you cannot find book atleast can u send me atleast 40 authentic hadeeths to my email.
Whenever i would think i am not able to pray "Qiyamillayl" i would pray before sleeping.Is that ok but occasionally only? Sorry for shooting out the third question IS there any reward in Aqira for particularly My disease or similar from birth to end.If so please mention it with authenticity to have more contentment in heart ?

Praise be to Allah.

First:

We ask Allah to both reward you as well as grant you well-being
and to grant you patience in the face of what you have been tested with. We
commend you on your great ambition in search of deeds which will earn you extra
rewards and draw you closer to Allah, the Exalted, even while you are suffering
from this sickness. Your illness has not prevented you from doing that which
you can from acts of obedience and worship which have great rewards and weigh
heavily on the balance. This is an important message we direct towards all
those who are ill; that they should have such great ambition and not allow
their sicknesses to prevent them from competing with the healthy in earning
rewards.

Second:

With regard to the reward for what Allah, may He be exalted, has
tested you with, we say: The scholars have differed as to whether the reward is
granted merely due to the fact that Allah, may He be exalted, has tested His
Muslim slave with sickness and calamity or is it a condition that it must be
accompanied with patience and hope for reward. To explain that: calamities are
an expiation for the afflicted as long as they do not show anger or tear their
garments or lament, and they are a means of elevating one’s status and a
source of rewards if the afflicted is patient and anticipates rewards (from
Allah).

Al-Hafith ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “The
authentic reports are clear that rewards are established simply by a calamity
occurring; as for patience and acceptance, then this is something extra for
which one may be rewarded beyond the reward of the calamity. Al-Qarafi said:
“Calamities are an expiation with certainty whether accompanied by
patience or not. However, if accompanied by acceptance the expiation is
greater, otherwise it will be less.” That’s what he said and the
explanation is: A calamity is an expiation for a sin similar to it and through
acceptance one is rewarded for it. If the afflicted has no sins, he will be
compensated with rewards equal to it.” End quote from Fath al-Bari
(10:105).

Sh. Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Otheimin (may Allah have mercy on
him) said: “Let the one afflicted with any calamity know that these
calamities are an expiation for sins they committed; for no worry or anxiety or
harm befalls a believer except that Allah expiates them (sins) through them
(hardships), even a thorn which pricks them. Through patience and anticipation
of reward one attains the level of the saabireen (patient ones), that high
level about which Allah, may He be exalted, said (what means): “And We will surely test you with something of fear and
hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the
patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah,
and indeed to Him we will return."” End quote.

This is the opinion favoured by the two sheikhs, Ibn Taimiyah and
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on them) and they mentioned shar’ee
(Legal Islamic) evidences for that. See the answer to question 150038 for more.

Third:

Know-dear questioner- that the time for qiyam al-layl (the voluntary
night prayers) begins from after ‘Isha, and whether you pray in the first
part of the night, the middle part or the last part of it, it is all part of
qiyam al-layl and it was all done by the Prophet (may the peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him). ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
“In every portion of the night did the Messenger of Allah (may the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) do the witr (prayer)…the first part,
the middle part and the last part of it, and his witr would go to the last
sixth part (sahar).” Al-Bukhari and Muslim

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said; The Messenger of Allah
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever fears
not getting up in the last part of the night, let him do the witr in the first
part and whoever expects he will get up in the last part of it let him do the
witr at the end of the night. The prayer in the last part of the night is
witnessed and that is better.” Muslim

Sh. ‘Abdul ‘Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him)
said: “A person should pray as is convenient for him in the first part of
the night or the middle part or the last part of it; he remains awake and prays
as is made easy for him, supplicates to his Lord, turns towards Him, and seeks
refuge with Him and he says the salam after every two units… The tahajjud
(night prayer) in the first part of the night or the middle part or the last
part of it is all good. However, the best is in the last part of the night if
that is easy for him.” End quote.

Fourth:

As with regard to your request to guide you to deeds which are
easy for you to do with your illness and which will not be burdensome and
harmful for you to do and its rewards from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, are
plentiful, then this is a sign of your intelligence and high motivation. We ask
Allah to grant you the strength to carry out these great acts of obedience. We
do not see anything more fitting for you, due to your illness, than the words
of remembrance which bring about great rewards from the Lord of the worlds if
said. ‘Abdullah ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a
man said: O Messenger of Allah, the laws of Islam have become many for me, tell
me something I can cling to. He said: “Your tongue should remain moist with the remembrance of Allah.”
At-Tirmithee, Ibn Majah and others. Authenticated by al-Albani.

Note that you may do great things -even with your
sickness- such as inviting towards Allah, maintaining family ties (even via
telephone) and buying booklets and having them distributed. We also bring your
attention to the great rewards in good conduct which is the heaviest thing on
the scale and which will elevate a person to the level of one who spends his
time praying and fasting. So do not let your illness be an obstacle in carrying
out those deeds which are not burdensome on you.
